“When I think of myself, I think of myself as a “resultant.” My job is to help people get results, not to come up with big PowerPoint presentations and keep the meter running for weeks and months and years on projects. No! Let’s get some results! I’d like you to consider that you ought to be a “consultant” [rather than] a “resultant.” I like “resultant,” myself.
